I'm watching this year, but without any of the same zeal as last year.
Major observations:
1. David Archuleta is obviously the most talented singer. His creepy mouth-breathing before and after every performance is slightly less awesome. As it how often he licks his lips while he performs.
2. Carly Smithson is a stooge. I'm already biased against her because I don't feel like American Idol is supposed to be for people who had record deals, had millions of dollars spent on them, and then sold 300 copies of a record the first week out. Hell, I could sell 300 records the first week I put one out with just a little bit of extra effort and outreach. To add insult to injury, she's probably the most overrated performer on there. She's inconsistent and frankly, listening to her sing ruins my night. I will be mortified if she wins.
3. Jason Castro is okay, he's the most interesting of the bunch to me because he doesn't fit, but I like him.
4. Sadly, we didn't start talking about this before Danny Noriega was voted off. I hate him. I hate the way he sings. I hate how flamboyant he is. I hate that he's obnoxious. The only thing I do not hate about him is that fact that he is no longer on the show.
5. Amanda Overmeyer is also a total ****wad waste of space.
Those are about the only thoughts I have on it.
